Hi,  I'm trying to install psycopg2 on a Centos 5, 64-bit machine.   I have both 2.4 and 2.7 Python versions on this machine.  I attempted to install using
easy-install2.7 psycopg2

The install is not working.  (I can't import psycopg2 in a python 2.7 session).   yum doesn't list it as installed.  But when I try to install it again, easy_install responds that it's already installed.  That's the short version of the problem, more details below that may or may not be helpful.

Thanks,
LT




At first, easy-install2.7 psycopg2 gave me similar errors to what's described on this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9600111/install-pg-config-in-centos-5-5-without-yum (something to do with pg_config not found).  So I followed the advice of installing devel

yum install postgresql84-devel

...succeeded.

Then, I  "easy-install2.7 psycopg2" again.  In fact I piped the output to a file and got what I have below, but it also flashed up an error message which didn't get into this file and I can't see on the history.  But from that second  that I saw it, I know it had __FILE__ in it.   Now I'm in this installed/but not installed kind of limbo.
